  • There is an issue with LibCUDA that prevents vulkan and DLSS from working on linux.
  • If using Wine-GE, add the environment variable WINE_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 to enable vulkan
  • If using Wine or Wine-GE, see instructions to patch libcuda to enable both vulkan and DLSS
  • Proton enables both vulkan and DLSS

Caution

(Oct 9, 2023) Crash when taking shield damage in-game

  • There is a shield rendering bug that causes the game to crash. It seems to affect 1000 series cards.
  • There is currently no known workaround other than switching cards. We recommend AMD.
